Windows, Doors and Sealed Units

Poor installation, years of hard use, shifting foundations and seasonal warping can often force windows and doors to become out of square with their frames, resulting in energy loss up to 25% in your home. In Canada’s climate, this means higher energy bills for you.

Eligibility

To qualify for a rebate, Applicants must receive a City of Medicine Hat residential Electric and/or Natural Gas utility statement in their name, in addition to all other eligibility criteria listed under Determine eligibility on the Existing Homes Incentive Program main page.

Criteria

To qualify, each window must have a U-Factor rating between 1.05 and 1.22 W/m²K. The U-Factor is the rate of heat transfer from warm to cold areas. The lower the number, the more efficient the product.

Rebate amount

Rebates amounts are per rough opening; windows are also based on the U-Factor of the new installed unit.

  • $100 for new energy efficient doors
  • $125 (1.14 ≤ 1.22 W/m²K)
  • $150 (1.05 ≤ 1.13 W/m²K)
